Salt and Shadow - Thrice

The sky took its cue, every color and hue on display

Till thick veils of indigo signaled the end of the day

But each landscape that lies in the mirror of your eyes turns to grey

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

On the edge of a knife, it’s like you’re living your life on the stage

You’re talking through glass, we’re just square photographs on a page

Oh, we’re never alone but we’re each in our own little cage

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

You’re here but it’s clear you’re just salt and shadow

Here, but half a world away

You’re here, but you’re merely a hologram

Here, still so far away

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

You manage to hide even here by my side where we lay

Here on this bed where I sense every thread start to fray

And I feel our skin touch but there’s only so much it can say

You’re here but it’s clear you’re just salt and shadow

Here half a world away

You’re here but you’re nearly a hologram

Here, still so far away
